Olivia, left: “I’m sorry about what happened. We’ve all been in your shoes and it can be a painful and trying time. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Betsy: “Well, I sure could use a place to stay.”
Olivia: “A place to stay? Why on earth would you say such a thing?”
Betsy: “Because I lost my job and then I got evicted. Isn’t that why you offered to help me?”
Olivia: “Oh, heavens no, I don’t know anything about poverty. I was referring to that horrible perm you’ve got, and I was going to give you the name of my stylist.”

Betsy(in a very bitter tone): “You know, it’s YOUR kind that have caused the problems in this country!!”
Olivia: “What? Well what kind of thinking can one really expect from someone who would wear that dress and have that kind of perm? Tea party asshat! ”
Betsy: “You want a piece of me? Bring it b*tch!!” She curls her fist, preparatory to knocking some sense into Olive.
Olivia (grabbing the fist before it can fly) “Now, now. Cant’ we all just get along?? I mean violence, although perhaps common to a person such as yourself, never did any one any good.”
Betsy: “Neither did the entitlement of you so-called do-gooders. Did it ever occur to you that you don’t know everything and that you aren’t always right? Well as to opinion anyway — I get it that your permanent address is on the far right..”
Olivia: “Money always wins, dear. Not that you’d know anything about that..”

Hair styling is important. Forget about all that other stuff like food and shelter. 😉

And suddenly Betsy understood that indeed, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
